AE2000
Routne and Live Cell Microscope Solution
Motic´s new AE2000 Inverted Microscope is the ideal instrument for routine live cell inspection in both educational and high grade professional. Designed for routine-lab or clinical work, as well as research requirements in Pharmaceutical Laboratories or Universities, the AE2000 is more than capable of fulfilling the expectations of its users. Superb optical quality can be expected from a brand new optical series of both bright field and phase contrast lenses, following Motic´s proven successful CCIS® Infinity Optical System.
Microscope Stand
Designed as a basic instrument for any life-science laboratory, the AE2000 comes with a Binocular or Trinocular stand. With a surprisingly small footprint, Motic´s AE2000 fits easily into every laboratory even when space is limited. A robust design and solid manufacturing ensure a long working life time even under rough usage conditions. Easy reach of both focusing and illumination controls guarantee comfortable operation for many hours.
Eyepiece tubes
Depending on the working environment and its demands, the AE2000 Series has a solution. Each eyepiece tube allows a 360° swiveling movement as well as a flexible adjustment of theinterpupillary distance between 48 and 75mm. The “Butterfly mode” increases the viewing height by 40mm. Designed with a comfortable viewing angle of 45°, all AE2000 eyepiece tubes offer a 20mm Field of View (FOV 20).
Eyepieces
In the AE2000, Motic´s Infinity Corrected CCIS Optical system displays a field flatness of 20mm. The high eye point principle of the AE2000´s eyepieces ensure true colour and sharp images, while minimizing eye fatigue and strain.
Objectives
With the release of the new AE2000, Motic has achieved a new standard in optical design and development. The AE2000 offers a completely upgraded class of Plan Achromatic lenses within the CCIS Infinity Optical concept. This upgrade covers a complete range of the following magnifications for bright field
and phase contrast: 4X, 10X, 20X and 40X. New in this level of microscopy is the special designed 4X Phase objective for fast overview and screening examinations.
Stage
With the release of the new AE2000, Motic has achieved a new standard in optical design and development. The AE2000 offers a completely upgraded class of Plan Achromatic lenses within the CCIS Infinity Optical concept. This upgrade covers a complete range of the following magnifications for bright field
and phase contrast: 4X, 10X, 20X and 40X. New in this level of microscopy is the special designed 4X Phase objective for fast overview and screening examinations. The convenient low positioned stage for optimized viewer posture and easy access has a new hard-coated surface for easy cleaning. All standard packages contain a glass stage insert as well as a new metal insert. The optional mechanical stage can be supplied with inserts for the more common cell culture vessels, and standard glass slides.
Condenser
The dovetail mounting of the condenser allows a quick change between the two condensers. Surprisingly Motic´s concept has one phase ring set, covering both condensers and thus ensuring maximum flexibility. When the condenser is removed, the maximum free working distance is 184mm.
Illumination
Motic´s AE2000 has a significantly brighter and more even illuminated image. The light management of both Halogen and LED versions has been improved in terms of transmission rates and optimization of the light path. Standard packages come with a 6V/30W Halogen illumination. The AE2000 also supports the most recent requirements for LED illumination by a simple replacement of the Halogen bulb by a small LED module. One of the main advantages of LED, the extreme reduction of heat development, can now be achieved for the essential study of living samples. As a new safety precaution Motic has iplemented a “sleep mode” on the AE2000, based on an IR-sensor. This motion sensor detects a user in front of the microscope and automatically turns off the microscope when it is left for more than 15 minutes.
